The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.

Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplier to speaker connections. Which

gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker.

The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

Listening Area

CCFL FR

Place the center channel (CC) speaker

directly above or below the video

display, preferably equidistant from the

walls on the le and right. The le (L)

and right (R) speakers should be on the

same wall on either side of the video

display, with the center speaker exactly

between them. It’s better if the le and

right speakers are closer to the screen

rather than further from it. It’s best if all

three front speakers about 3.5 feet (1 m)

from the oor, however there’s a good

chance that the center speaker will have

to be lower or higher than the others. The

speakers can be installed either vertically

or horizontally. For better sound quality,

avoid installing the speakers near corners.

In addition to the le, right, and

center speakers described in the 3

speaker setup, install the surround

le and right speakers on the le and

right walls. They should be a few feet

behind the listening area, and about 5

feet (1.5 m) from the oor.

6b. Speaker Placement (5 Speakers)

The front le, right, and center

speakers should be in the same

location as the previous two setups

described. The surround le and right

speakers should be about 5 feet (1.5

m) from the oor, directly to either

side of the listening area. Finally, the

rear speakers should be on the back

wall, about 5 feet (1.5 m) from the oor and 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 m) apart. If possible,

make sure that the distance between the rear speakers is the same as the distance

between the front le and right speakers.

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the

insulation o both ends of the wire. To

avoid stray strands, twist them at the

end. Connect the wire to the amplier,

and make sure the wire connected to

the le speaker output will be routed

to the le speaker, right output to right

speaker, etc.

7b. Installing the Wire

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identied

as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some

means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identication

may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive

(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire

is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other

colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to

be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

On both your amplier and your speaker the connectors will be identied as red

for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the

speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive

connector in the amplier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several

methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

7c. Wire Routing

One option is to li up the carpet and

rout “tape wire” under the carpet.

Under the Carpet

The wire can be routed behind the

baseboard by cutting a groove out

of the back of the baseboard, or by

buying special baseboard designed for

concealing wires.

Behind the Baseboard

When available, you can route the wire

through an attic or crawlspace.

Attic or Basement

When running wires through a wall, be

sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC

wiring, pipes, and ducts.

Through Walls

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the

installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these

situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how

to install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our

website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.

For New Construction

C60 SERIES • COMPOSER COLLECTION INSTALLATION MANUALC60 SERIES • COMPOSER COLLECTION INSTALLATION MANUAL

When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template

to trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. (If you don’t have a

template, check the Specications section for cutout sizes.) If you’re unsure

on whether there may be obstacles (such as pipes or wires) where you plan on

installing the speaker, drill a ⅛ inch hole in the center of the rectangle, then put

a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel around. Use a keyhole or drywall saw

to cut the hole.

8. Cutting the Hole

Insert the wires into the connectors. Push down on each connector, and insert

each wire into the opening with the correct polarity. Make sure that the positive

wire is attached to the red connection and the negative wire is being attached

to the black connection. If the wires are switched, speaker performance will be

drastically impacted.
